In Which I celebrate my Birthday once more! Perhaps a quiet birthday one?

Good morning to dear friend, reader of this present post! Happy Wednesday, August 12! It is the day of my birthday, a day that I am quite fond of. I should officially be 28 at 5PM, which is the time of my deliverance. What are your plans for today? As for me, I am not entirely sure. One reason why the idea of a birthday season is to have more time to celebrate, given at the precise day of your birthday you may not be on full energy. It is also remarkably early still, at 9 and a half in the morning. Maybe some cake is in order, it is also the time I can have a slice of pizza... all I wish was to hear from my friend Johannes, but that likely won't go anywhere, so why bother. If he could reach out, it would be enough to make my week as bright as the Proxima Centauri. I should not dare to dream of such joy. It is not healthy when you cannot have it. The drawing for today's celebration! It has become a tradition of mine since around 2022 I think! Dad invited me to the movies, but he...

Song of the week! In which we wish we could turn back in time

Hello everyone! Happy Friday to you!!! As you know, time for song of the week! Wow, can't believe we're already on August 17, the month of August is going fast, I think! Soon the summer will be back, but at this point it doesn't make a difference, it's hot just like it was summer already!
So, today we'll be seeing one of my favorites by Cher, that musical chamaleon! It's not only one of my favorites, but also at this point one cultural classic! Yes, if you saw the title of this post you probably already guessed what tune I'm talking about! If I Could Turn Back Time, of her Heart of Stone album of 1989!!



Cher is definitely an icon that spreads through so many musical genres! In this particular one, on her rock period, she gave us a powerful song on asking for forgiveness and how words we say can impact a relationship in bad ways. Guess we all had those moments, like she say in the song "words are like weapons, they wound sometimes", something we heard time and time again, and at some levels became a clichĂ©, but a very truthful one. Unfortunately we can't go back in time -yet- BUT that doesn't mean we can't wish for it and sing about it, am I right?? Also, her whole outfit for this song and this period of her career became iconic, she's indeed a fashion icon as well! If you don't have Spotify do not worry, I have the Youtube link right here with me!

This very nice song and this very nice artist is what we have for today!! I'm so happy to be here! Hope you enjoyed it as well!! See you next time!!
